After a defeat in battle, Feryl begins to think that he's useless to the Spectral Knights, so he leaves the team. When Darkstorm fails to get Feryl to join the Darkling Lords, he sets a trap for Leoric using Feryl's absence. Now it's up to Feryl to rescue his old friend.

Darkstorm contacts a witch who grants him a magic potion that will trap Leoric in his lion form. Leoric is turned into a ferocious red lion. Then, Darkstorm convinces some local villagers that Leoric is an evil beast, and they decide to slay him.

A plague falls over all Visionaries. So, Merklynn sends out the two Spectral Knights - Arzon and Witterquick - and the two Darkling Lords - Cindarr and Lexor - that are still standing to get the ingredients required to make the cure. Cindarr and Lexor embark to slay a unicorn for its horn, and Arzon and Wiiterquick set out to find a dragon's claw.
